“I knew the importance of listening from my younger days spent with my own grandmother. She taught me the importance of listening, and not just listening as in hearing but also in making a true effort to understand what I was being told.”
Murray Sinclair, Who We Are: Four Questions For a Life and a Nation

“Of all of society's institutions, education has brought us to the current state of poor relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples; but if it is education that created this mess, it will be education that will get us out of it. We know that making things better will not happen overnight. It will take generations. That's how the damage was created and that's how the damage will be fixed. But if we agree on the objective of reconciliation, and agree to work together, the work we do today will immeasurably strengthen the social fabric of Canada tomorrow.”
Murray Sinclair, Who We Are: Four Questions For a Life and a Nation

“My memoir was intended to be a learning experience, by sharing my own personal growth, and the potential impact it has for the growth of others. I intend it to be a lived learning experience for other people in my situation: this is what I experienced, and this is how I felt, and take from this what you will.
Because that’s how to learn.”
